This morning, I found a blog that I’d never visited before – “Jim Lyons Observations” – and, lo and behold, I found on his blog a recent article he posted about a MemJet small-format printer. AND, HE ACTUALLY HAS ONE!
HERE’S WHAT’S SAID ABOUT JIM LYONS ON THE MAIN PAGE OF HIS BLOG-SITE:
Jim Lyons comments on business and marketing developments in the Printing and Imaging industry, combining many years of experience with an ever-enthusiastic eye on the future. His monthly print column, "Observations", appears in The Hard Copy Observer -- a publication of Lyra Research.
HERE’S JUST A COUPLE OF “SNIPPETS” FROM THE ARTICLE HIM WROTE ABOUT THE MEMJET SMALL-FORMAT PRINTER:
“Memjet’s original promise of delivering 60 ppm color printing to the home and office for $200-$300 has morphed into a machine that offers the same breakthrough speed but at a price point that is multiplied by a factor of two or more. Note that Memjet has not identified any U.S. partners, and of the firm’s Asian and European partners, only Lenovo in China has published target per-page costs of 0.1-0.15 Yuan (2 cents) for monochrome and 0.3-0.5 Yuan (6 cents) for color, compared to color laser printing costs of 10-15 cents for a color page and 1-2 cents for a monochrome page. Early indications on hardware pricing for the Lenovo RJ600N point to a range of $770 to $925 in U.S. dollars.”
“…..Nevertheless, if Memjet can deliver on even its revised price/performance goal, the impact to the home- and office-printing market could be significant.”
THE ARTICLE JIM WROTE ABOUT THE MEMJET SMALL-FORMAT PRINTER IS EXTENSIVE, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE ALL REPROGRAPHERS TO READ THE FULL ARTICLE, WHICH CAN BE FOUND AT THIS INTERNET ADDRESS:
